The hurt across your face
Your word against mine
The rhythm you repeat
The beat a hair behind
Were you on my side?


You gave your all, but you gave it once
A lesson that you thought
You could teach it when you want
Subtract me from your heart
Little take-away girl


One step at a time
You made us angry
All your love could hide
But we knew you were afraid


We accept, but un-accept
We made up, we're breaking up
You thought you had enough
But maybe you didn't know
That this stage holds our show


One step at a time
You showed us angry
All your love could hide
But we knew you were afraid


Misery, I digress
No recourse, no remorse
Let it be, I confess
To every song that brought you back


Misery, I digress
No recourse, no remorse
Let it be, I confess
To every song that brought you back
